About

Dr. Tanisa Patcharatrakul is a leading expert in neurogastroenterology and gastrointestinal motility, with a primary focus on anorectal disorders and functional bowel diseases. Her seminal work, the highly cited "Update on the Pathophysiology and Management of Anorectal Disorders" (2017, 88 citations), has significantly advanced clinical understanding of conditions like fecal incontinence and dyssynergic defecation. Dr. Patcharatrakul’s major contributions lie in elucidating the complex interplay between structural and functional dysfunctions in the anorectum, emphasizing that accurate diagnosis requires objective physiological testing rather than relying solely on symptom presentation. Her research has shaped modern diagnostic algorithms and therapeutic strategies, bridging the gap between pathophysiology and patient-centered care. With a career dedicated to improving outcomes for patients with often-overlooked pelvic floor disorders, Dr. Patcharatrakul’s work continues to inform both clinical practice and future research in motility disorders.
